I am so sorry to hear about Andrea's passing. I worked with her at PHS and had a great time with her in the office. She was always willing to take on a challenge and supported our staff at every turn.
We will remember her in our prayers.

Andrea was my piano student in the 70s when she was in junior high. She and her best friend came for lessons at the same time. One year, when she was in college, her father, an artist, came to my door with a painting. It was Andrea's birthday; he said he always remembered the occasion by giving a gift to someone who was important to his daughter. I was on her Christmas card list forever. I have never forgotten her and will cherish her memory. My condolences to John, Sarah, and VanLou.

Andrea positively impacted my life for many, many years. I remember her in her upstairs "office" at PHS peeking out from her stacks of folders before her location moved and moved again. ♥ With quiet keystrokes, she made my professional and personal life so much better year after year. A true gem. She is missed daily. My heart goes out to her family and friends.
